Hi everyone,I'm a new member here and this is my first post, so please be gentle. I've been having an issue with my Chromebook recently. I'm unable to sign on to any Wi-fi network because the button on the bottom right-hand side just defaults to it being off. Specifically, it's similar to this:

I tried powering it on and off and eventually did a full reset and a Powerwash, so now everything is wiped off of the hard drive (which is OK since I backed up almost everything on Google Drive anyway). The problem still persists, regardless. Any ideas?

I'm hesitant to purchase a USB-Ethernet router since I'm not sure it would work and if the issue is the w-fi card, I'm hesitant to open it up and try to fix it as I'm not inclined towards that sort of thing and am worried that I'd mess it up.

Dropping it off at Best Buy or some place like that and telling them to try to fix it is an option, but I'm afraid they'd charge too much.

I'm looking for an easy fix since I only paid $125 for it last year via Amazon. Unfortunately, the warranty expired. Is it salvageable? The Chromebook is completely unusable at the moment.

Issue description: Chromebook won't turn on: blue light won't even light when charger is plugged in. The C710 worked (but occasionally wouldn't start on opening the cover unless I hit the power button) until I did a powerwash. After that the Chromebook restarted and asked for a new login. Closed the cover and it wouldn't restart. Tried everything I could find on the forum: hard reset, leaving the battery out for days, etc. Actually it finally did start up twice among many, many tries but as soon as the cover is closed it goes dead again. It's been days of trying now with not so much as a blue light. Any suggestions, options? Bought it directly from Acer on eBay (refurbished, but looked new).

Thanks/Ed

Took my Chromebook to a friend who has the exact same model (except his has the 16GB SSD instead of the 320GB HD). My battery and power adapter worked fine on his (battery showed as full). His battery and power adapter in my machine made no difference: still no power lights or any sign of life.

Could you please tell me if I can or will I be able to use Google Play Store and Android apps on my Acer C720 Chromebook.Also, can or will I be able to use Google Play Store and Android apps on the Acer CB5-311 Chromebook.

My Acer CB 11 will not turn on. Both lights are blue, indicating it is charged and powered on but nothing comes on the screen and it does not sound like it is on. I have removed the battery and plugged it back in. I have tried ESC + refresh + power. Any other suggestions? I'm a teacher and really need this CB for my classroom.

Hello all, I'm looking to buy a Chromebook 14 and I live in the UK. I'm able to buy one from a Dutch website for ?375, but that's a fair bit more than the retail price of $299 - not to mention that I'm a little concerned about it being trustworthy. Additionally, this would have an American keyboard, which would be an issue - I need my British layout! There don't seem to be any vectors for me to get my hands on a UK Chromebook 14. Can someone please tell me I'm wrong, and point out where I can get one? Thank you very much!

I haven't had a chance to get my hands on one yet, but Im very confident that this will have a fan. There is no mention of a fanless design in the literature that was released with last weeks announcement.Cory

My processing is too slow. If i have a few windows open it can be very slow. Can i add gig to speed it up? I also have the cursor jumping around when I type and sometimes lose things all together that I type. This is the same problem I have with another Acer lap top with Windows. Regards,Carmel

Same here! I'm keeping an eye on this URL: https://store.google.com/product/acer_chromebook_14

When powered on, my chrome book has no display, And all I see is the blue power indicator light blinking repeatedly with no pattern (about two times per second) if I hit ESC plus refresh plus power I get the " Chrome OS is missing or damaged" message. I have done the recovery process twice and although it says that it has recovered successfully, however, when it tries to restart, it goes right back to having no display and the blue power indicator light blinking. If I have the charger connected the orange charging indicator light blinks at the same rate. This all started approximately 24 hours ago, it was working fine before then.

My daughter's Chromebook is less than a year. We gave it to her on Christmas day 2015. When plugged in, the little blue bulb light is on but not the battery and as such it's not coming up. I've tried turning it on and off with no luck. Need help.

Just got my new Chromebook, it worked right out of the box, got it set up, installed a few apps. It was great. I set it down for about 5 minutes, charging with the screen closed, and when I opened it back up the front lit up blue and orange once then turned off and the screen won't come on. Whenever I push the power button, no matter if the battery in with no charger, charger in with no battery, or both, the screen won't come on and the power button will only flash once then die. I'm sad to think my computer's busted straight out of the box, especially because no matter where I search I can't find any answers on how to fix this bug. Help? (Also, I bought it from Acer's ebay page so I don't have a warranty.) Thanks!

hi.. If the computer is not able to power on you may find it helpful to perform a power reset. This discharges any electrical build up which may prevent your notebook from powering on correctly.Unplug the AC adapter from your notebook.Turn the notebook over to remove the battery.Turn the notebook back over and open it.Hold down the power button for 30 seconds, then release the power button.Turn the notebook back over and slide the battery back into place.Slide the lock tab back into the lock position.Turn over the notebook one last time and plug in your AC adapter.Turn on your notebookRegards

My 12 year old daughter is getting a CB3-131-C3SZ for Christmas. I've read online that it is listted as one of the Chromebooks that will soon be able to connect to the Android Store for apps. Does anyone know if it can connect now or when it will be able to connect?

Anyone else with a chromebook R13 have a slight rattle in the trackpad, not much but just enough to notice. Here a video of what I'm experiencing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqP3W5Fias&feature=youtu.be I'm not actually performing a click in the video, this is just tapping on the trackpad.

I should like to buy this chromebook but it appears that the only processor available here fitted to this laptop is the N3050, which is dual core and hardly an advance on the N2840 of older chromebooks such as the Toshiba Chromebook 2. In the US, apparently, it is available with the quad core 3150. Can any body tell me when this will be available in the UK? Thanks

It is a blank screen and yes it is charged. Having trouble fixing it. I have a Mac computer and I try to download the BIOS firmware and it will not let me. Help!!

If nothing will come on the screen, I suggest contacting Acer tech support in your region to look into repair options.

Many thanks for reading this far.Im hoping it could be an easy fix!

I have had my chromebook plugged in for 24 hours, no lights and no charge. What should I do?

Sorry to hear your Acer system is not powering on. If there are no lights or fan noise when you plug it in and power it on, it could be a bad AC adapter. If the AC adapter does work but is not charging the system or powering it on, we would recommend repair. If your system is under warranty you can call the technical support line for assistance. If you are out of warranty you can request a repair by going to https://customercare.acer.com/customercare/.

I have a 3 month old Chromebook and all of a sudden the backspace key is messed up. It doesn't work even at the login screen. I searched around and found a temp solution. Hold space, enter and backspace at the same time for a few seconds. However after I shutdown and start up later it happens again.

I fell asleep listening to a talk on Youtube (1 hr long) and when I got up the next day, the screen has many parallel colored lines on the left half of the screen, plus what looks like a black inkspot. Have I totally wrecked my Chromebook? I can faintly see the icons on the bottom right.

Have you tried to reboot it? if screen issues are still there after a reboot, probably is an hardware issue. you can try to do a power wash just to reset it to factory and check about issue:http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27685/~/power-wash-command-for-chromebook

I intend to purchase the new Acer Chromebook 14 (CB3-431-C5FM). I would like to buy a silicone keyboard cover for it, but I've had no luck in locating one. Does the Chromebook 14 share a keyboard layout with any other model of Acer Chromebook?

Did you check Amazon?I was just taking a look and I see many silicone covers. Maybe you can find one there, the prices varies from 5.00 to 20.00 dollars. If I find anywhere else, I ll let you know.

C270 Chromebook won't turn on. The blue charging light is lit so it's getting power when plugged in. Power button does nothing. Black screen. I left it alone, plugged in, for 24 hours in case the battery had simply discharged but it still won't turn on.
